If Pain Better: If the pain is improving and your ankle is stable to walk on, this is likely normal evolution of a sprain. The blood can pool in a line above the base of the foot and begin to look alarming. The most important question is whether it is worsening or not improving. If that is the case, get in to see your doctor again about this issue.
